I have no idea when it's from, nor what its purpose is; or was.
Thank you.

It's for checking and adjusting auto distributors. Allen made test equipment , I used their equipment in the 60's when I worked at an ignition shop .
This link should help.

We called it a degree wheel. Set on the crankshaft to determine the correct timing of the distributor.
Google Allen degree wheel.

What a wealth of knowledge this place provides. :D
Thanks, chaps.
Pity mine is incomplete. I'll call the guy I bought it from and ask him to sift through his garage for the leads...
Kind regards,
